Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 14 / Friday, January 23, 2009 / Notices The analysis also addressed the potential for severe accidents at a seaport and during overland transport to Savannah River. The accident analysis was updated from that performed in the FRR SNF EIS to reflect changes in populations along representative transportation routes and the Department’s currently recommended dose-to-risk conversion factor for estimating risks from radiation exposures. The risks were determined to be low with no latent cancer fatalities expected among transport crews or members of the public. The potential for intentional destructive acts was also addressed and the impacts from such possible acts were determined to be comparable to those previously analyzed in the FRR SNF EIS. Receipt and storage of Gap Material SNF at the Savannah River Site are not expected to cause impacts at the site that would differ from or exceed those identified in the FRR SNF EIS. Gap Material SNF is expected to ultimately be disposed of in a geologic repository. Disposition of Gap Material SNF is not expected to result in any changes to the envelope of impacts addressed in the FRR SNF EIS, the Savannah River Site Spent Fuel Management Final Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/ EIS–0279, March 2000), and the Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain (DOE/EIS–0250, February 2002) and its supplemental EISs (DOE/EIS–0250–S1, DOE/EIS–0250–S2, and DOE/EIS–0369, June 2008). Acceptance of Gap Material SNF will occur under the condition that Gap Material SNF complies with the acceptance criteria of the SRS facility receiving the Gap Material SNF and that sufficient storage capacity exists at the facility, pending disposition of the material. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Decision DOE has decided to amend the FRR SNF EIS Record of Decision to accept up to 1 MTHM (1.1 tons) of foreign research reactor SNF containing either non-U.S.origin HEU or SNF containing U.S.origin HEU that was not previously addressed in the FRR SNF EIS.2 DOE would only accept the material if it poses a threat to national security, is susceptible for use in an improvised 2 This decision also includes acceptance of nonU.S.-origin HEU in unirradiated (fresh) fuel that will be transported to the Y–12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Management of such HEU is addressed in the Site-wide Environmental Impact Statement for the Y–12 National Security Complex (DOE/EIS–0309, 2001) and associated ROD (67 FR 11296; March 13, 2002). VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:32 Jan 22, 2009 Jkt 217001 nuclear device, presents a high risk of terrorist threat, and has no other reasonable pathway to assure security from theft or diversion. Further, acceptance of this material would be undertaken consistent with existing conditions of the FRR SNF Acceptance Program. The FRR SNF Acceptance Program provides for fuel acceptance through May 12, 2019. DOE will continue limitations on shipment cask curie activity and will ensure that the upper limit estimate for the source term assumed in the FRR SNF EIS accident analysis will not be exceeded. DOE will extend the mitigation action plan announced in the May 1996 ROD and currently in place for FRR SNF to Gap Material SNF to ensure that individual ship crew member doses are maintained as low as reasonably achievable and less than 100 millirem in a year. Acceptance of Gap Material SNF will occur in accordance with processes implemented to ensure compliance with DOE and international requirements. Shipments of Gap Material SNF will occur under the condition that Gap Material SNF complies with the acceptance criteria of the SRS facility receiving the Gap Material SNF and that sufficient storage capacity exists at the facility, pending disposition of the material. Conclusion DOE’s decision furthers the nonproliferation objectives of the United States. The decision provides for the management and disposition of certain material not previously addressed in the FRR SNF EIS that poses a threat to national security, is susceptible to use in an improvised nuclear device, presents a high risk of terrorist threat, and has no other reasonable pathway to assure security from theft or diversion. The decision set forth in this Revised ROD complies with the requirements of NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500–1508 and 10 CFR Part 1021. Potential impacts resulting from implementing this action will remain within the range of the potential environmental impacts analyzed in the FRR SNF EIS. This action does not constitute either a substantial change or significant new circumstance relevant to environmental concerns. There are no significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns related to this action or its impacts within the meaning of 40 CFR 1502.9(c) and 10 CFR 1021.314. Therefore, neither a supplement to the FRR SNF EIS nor a new EIS is needed. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4175 Issued in Washington, DC, on this 13th day of January, 2009. Thomas P.
